Abstract
A method for bonding glass components and the resulting glass assemblies produced by the same. A mixture containing a catalyst and a resin is provided that when combined forms an index-matching optical adhesive. At least one of the catalyst or the resin is encapsulated. The mixture is applied to a glass component. A second glass component is placed on the mixture so that the mixture is interposed between the glass components without breaking the encapsulation. The mixture is exposed to ultraviolet light causing the capsules to release the portions contained therein and combine to form an adhesive.
